Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Japanese term Kawaii [かわいい] has been in urban dictionaries for a while now but its finally made its debut into the Oxford English dictionary.
"kawayusu" [かわゆす] is the short form of "Kawaii Desu" and one can also use the term "Kawaii-ssune" [かわいいっすね]. "Kawaii" is also often written in katakana like [カワイイ]. Be careful how you pronounce "Kawaii" because if you say it like "Kowaii" [怖い] then it means "scary" ^^; Other Japanese terms that have made it to the English dictionary are Bokeh [ぼけ] which refers to the out of focus background in photos and tsunami. I think it will only be a matter of time before "Oppai" makes its debut too ^^; What other Japanese words do you think should make it into the Oxford English Dictionary? There is a poll embedded in this article. These puchi illustrations of Mirai Suenaga and co from the Moekana hiragana learning series.
